On Saturday evening a group opf us celebrated Connie's 60th birthday with a Mexican dinner at Angie & Kevin's. Here is Connie with all her Grandchildren and her DQ cake!

Sunday morning Debbie & I biked the Terry Fox 10k fundraiser trail. It was a perfectly gorgeous morning with sun, no wind and great conversation so the ride was over before we were ready for it to be!

Murray had great combining weather today and would have had great going if he hadn't broken down at supper time. They are busy improvising at the shop as the nearest part is in Regina and won't be here until Tuesday! Just when we get good weather.....

Harvest 2008

Harvest has been going rather slowly as we have had rain showers off & on for 2 weeks. Murray has been plugging away at the peas as they do not take on moisture as quickly and perhaps will be done them tonight. As you can see it is barely tall enough to combine so no bumper crops this year!

This pic taken on the hill just 2 miles south of home just a few minutes ago!

Unloading the combine.


While Murray has been busy with his harvest I have been busy with mine! Well the peaches weren't mine until I bought them, but canning is a fall ritual. I am hoping to get more cucs to preserve before it freezes. I have already canned 45 qts of peaches and 16 of dill pickles.
